The Hitachi's and the Toshiba's are pretty good. Pioneer Elite is the one to buy if you can handle it. Stay away from the Mits. The Runco DTV-5801, at about $11k, is a heavily modified Toshiba.
HDTV Widescreen recommendations, please
Hello, all--
I just bought a new X-Box, and I realized that my 6-year old Mitsubishi TV just isn't up to the task, in terms of inputs, color, sound, etc. If I'm going to buy a new TV anyway, I figure I should look for something in the 36"-40" range, and it may as well be HDTV-compatible. I like a lot of inputs in the back (maybe 2 component and 2 S-Video). The sound isn't *that* important to me, since I'll probably pick up a quality receiver and a 5.1 speaker setup at some point soon. I've seen sets in these sizes priced at $1500-$2000, which I can handle. Does anyone have any recommendations as far as a brand, a model, something they own, something they wish they owned, etc? Thanks in advance, as always, for your help.
